It seems that Russell Brand's arrest at LAX this weekend may affect his career and love life in America. Immigration officials are investigating the incident and his visa might even be revoked.

A spokesperson for the US Citizen and Immigration Services said:

"We are looking into this…A charge of battery could result in a conviction for an aggravated felony. Any kind of criminal conviction can lead to a visa being revoked. If a visa is revoked, the person will then be placed in deportation proceedings and this could lead to them being asked to leave the country and not return."

What a load of BULLSHIT! My boyfriend got into trouble 16 years ago and it was for something really stupid (stole ciggys)–he was 20 ffs. And he's having trouble getting a visa for the us. it was a non-violent crime! Oh but because he doesn't have a shitload of money he can't just snap his damn fingers. The world is bullshit. I'm sick of celebrities doing as they fucking please because they have money. It's not right! My boyfriend and I have been together over 4 years. But because of the costs we're having a hard time. It must be really nic to FUCK THE SYSTEM THAT I PAY FOR! Goddamn it.

from what I understand he was fighting for his girl as the paps were being pervy…….i agree with comment 8 - we can't get rid of the millions of illegal immigrants in this country but we can deport russell for basically doing most boyfriends/husbands/fiances would do………….

I believe the ticket/citation that was posted said "simple battery". He is here on a work visa; I wouldn't think one assault would get him thrown out out of the country…
There are people in prison right now that had less coke than Paris as well people that only broke the conditions of their plea once unlike Lindsay. So the judges and DAs out west must not be too tough on minor celebrities…

If that's true it is horrible!!! I didn't know that pushing a pap/person is a criminal conviction!
Russell Brand should not have been charged! He was defending his fiancé from a pervert. Any decent man would do the same!

Re: April 20th – Those "Millions of Illegal immigrants" are out there doing the jobs Americans don't even want. What contribution has this Russell made in this country besides fuck a bimbo pop star and murder a classic (Arthur)?

There will only be consequences only after a conviction (innocent until proven guilty).
There won't be a trial so there won't be a conviction; there will be some type of legal intervention which will make the matter go away…Basic Celebrity Justice Lives!!!

I don't know how some of you are going to be bitching about how celebrities get away with everything on this particular story. He SHOULD get away with it, and the paps should be arrested for sexual assault. Should the paps be allowed to take upskirt pictures of someone's girlfriend/wife/mom/etc. while you have to just stand there and watch?

They were not taking pics of the whore's vagina. The guy that he punched was like 5 feet away standing up in the airport. Russell is nothing but an ugly, nasty publicity whore and so is his slutty fiancee. They love this attention, and I am sure had their people call the tabloids to get them on camera. Both of them are lying assholes.
Oh and Perez, I thought you said "violence is never the answer" in your video whining when you got your face punched for calling Will a gay slur? So now it's ok?

This is ridiculous. The paz totally invaded their personal space. Where are the laws to protect celebz from the crazy out of had paz. I bet some of the paz are here illegally too. It is not like Russell punched or knocked one of them out. He only pushed them out of the way.

SAY NO TO STAR TREATMENT. it does not matter what the paparazzo were doing. you NEVER put your hands on someone, not unless they put their hands on you. knowing her dumbass her skirt was blowing up anyway when supposed pap was trying to glance a pic up it. Give them a few years and theyll be having a nasty divorce anyway

Re: foofight – If this was a Western, and a pap did that to a farmer's fiance, they'd ship the pap out of town pronto by tying the pap perv backwards, blindfolded and camera-less on his horse, firing a shot to scare the horse running; with the whole town's AND the Sherriff's smirking blessing. You shouldn't upskirt pics of women and git away with it, partner. Don't revoke Russell!

Shane Redway -- a Canadian rapper and close friend of Drake's -- was killed early Saturday morning in a car crash. He was just 26 years old.

Redway and two others were killed when their car lost control, struck a guardrail and burst into flames. The crash occurred around 4am outside Pearson International Airport in Toronto. It's unclear who was behind the wheel. Police are investigating the crash.

Drake took to Instagram to remember Redway, posting two different tributes.
